Oh dear. I guess Spectacle (the app I use that does a similar thing) will be on a pretty long list of those to follow.

- idbehold 9y agoDoes Spectical have a grid UI like that? I've only ever used keyboard shortcuts to position the windows using it. If it doesn't have that grid UI selector thing then I think it's fine.
- tedd4u 9y agoSpectacle has keyboard shortcuts - in fact, I think that's all it has. All I use it for at least. The first command sets the window to 1/2 width (or height), second tap sets it to 2/3, third tap sets it to 1/3. Works great for me. Also I should note it's OSS.
- justintoon 9y agoI've been using Magnet for a while now. It seems much more stable and efficient than Spectacle. Hopefully it will not end up on this chopping block as well. http://magnet.crowdcafe.com/ http://magnet.crowdcafe.com/
- intopieces 9y agoIs there a similar app for Ubuntu-flavor Linux? I use it on MacOS, but sometimes play around with Linux on a laptop with a terrible track pad. I know you can customize keyboard shortcuts but haven't been able to replicate Magnet precisely.

- jorvi 9y agoHey, I mailed you guys but you never responded :( Would it be possible to add sort of a tiling window manager mode that would disallow stacking and force any open window to adhere to a 6x6 (or whatever) grid? Sort of like Amethyst..
- zoul 9y agoSorry about that! We have considered adding more features, but it’s impossible to do that while keeping the app reliable and simple, so it’s likely to stay this way.
